EFF leader Julius Malema concluded his speech at the Koppies by-election rally today, May 25, 2025, by leading supporters in the contentious “Kill the Boer” chant—just days after former U.S. President Donald Trump highlighted videos of the chant during a May 21 White House meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Trump used the footage of Malema’s chant to bolster his widely disputed claims of a “white genocide” taking place in South Africa, sparking intense debate both locally and internationally.
Malema’s decision to revive the chant at the rally signals his continued defiance amid growing scrutiny and controversy over his party’s rhetoric.
